Comments about ‘What's behind the new airport security measures’

I avoid flying at all now. Not because of fear of terrorists, but because of the
paranoia of our own authorities. The British had a knack of being able to keep
on keeping on, but here we all but hide under our beds. I'd rather not take
planes anywhere in America, preferring to drive. Sadly, as the paranoia spreads,
TSA can now be found in some subways, at bus stations, and will probably be
found at Border Patrol checkpoints in the near future. I guess, pretty soon, old
people and kids can be subjected to random searches about anywhere. So much for
constitutional protections that can be waived any time the government dreams up
reasons to be afraid of their own shadows.
